<p>I'm a female from South Carolina, a pretty good public high school, offers a pretty good amount of AP/honors courses. It has sent about 5 grads to UNC in the past 5 or 6 years.</p>

<p>4.0 unweighted GPA/ 5.05 weighted GPA (on South Carolina scale)
Top 2% of my class (6/240ish)
SAT: 1450/1600, 2120/2400
ACT: 32 (33 superscored)
AP's: 5 on Calculus, 4 on Statistics, 4 on US History, 4 on English Literature. I am enrolled in Economics, Government, Physics C: Mechanics, and European History.
Major: Elementary Education</p>

<p>I have pretty good EC's, different varsity sports, academic team, president of young democrats and my school book club, secretary of beta club, church activities, etc. I was a junior counselor/work crew at a summer camp two summers during high school, June-August.</p>

<p>My recommendations were pretty good, and I had a really good community rec from my camp director. One of my essays was about a camp counselor I had so the two kind of work together.</p>

<p>I have heard from a lot of people that getting in OOS is IMPOSSIBLE, it doesn't happen, but I have heard from others that it's not THAT bad, you must be a top student, but it's not as bad as everybody says. A caucasion female from my school got in a few years ago with a 1350ish score, decent class rank, decent ec's, but nothing that makes her really stand out. </p>

<p>One week left to go, I just wanted to know if I should get my hopes up.</p>

<p>GO TARHEELS</p>

<p>i’d say you would get in, but OOS is really crazy. Have you applied to Duke? I know some OOS people who were rejected by Carolina, but were accepted to Duke.</p>

<p>thanks! yeah i applied to duke, my brother went there, so i have legacy. hopefully that will work out if i don’t get into chapel hill, but obviously i’d rather be in chapel hill than durham, haha.</p>

<p>ForGor Christmas my dad (an NC State alum) bought me a bumper sticker of a red wolfpack shark eating a Carolina blue fish. They’re they only places I applied, and he hates that I love Carolina so much! house really divided!</p>

<p>Oh and to the OP-- I would say 65% chance of getting in. Great gpa, but your SAT is average for UNC (albeit great)</p>
